the implication that all of your colleagues already have a “wacky” shirt at home ready to wear is disturbing

it's an at-home version of something we did at the office, some people get really into it and have many wacky shirts, i don't understand people at all

Wonder if that's a recurring meeting? It's not a 10-digit personal ID at least.

we got a note from IT about zoombombing where people who guess your (static) room code join and share “profane materials”.
I had to double check that there wasn’t a thread in here about wardialing zoom numbers in order to show a man’s bottom.

Putting your nation's cabinet meetings behind a 10-digit code is indeed a secfuck whether you post the code or not

one of the sales guys I work with used to have the “auto-enable webcams for participants” option enabled by default on all his Zoom meetings, and good lord that’s not a feature that ought to exist in the first place.

after like seven months of occasionally agitating clients - or more often getting people who had no idea their video was on until we told them - I asked why he did it and he was like “because I have no idea how to make it stop, I hate it so much”


when our company switched to zoom a couple years ago, the Zoom rep said on one call that it’s like their single biggest differentiator and people go wild for it in product demos and that saving people “the hassle” (which here is 1 or 2 clicks, I guess) is what gets them clients.

which is just unfathomable to me, I’ve only ever seen it make people unhappy. the fact that they view it as absolutely critical and will basically turn to malware tactics to force their way to the needed permissions is just crazy.

It's for the same authoritarians who believe that Butts In Seats is the most important thing, and give thanks every day for the feature in Zoom that snitches if you switch focus away from your godawful meeting.

Is nextdns a legit alternative to using a pihole? They seem to be fairly transparent and it's a lot simpler to set up.

that's more due to them allowing UNC paths, it meets microsoft's terrible definition of an RCE though

and the reason that zoom allows it at all? well...
